Features: This fairy tale will feature a young hero, a boy you haven't heard of before. It will also tell about some girls, including the banquet of Princess Dorothy of Oz, our old friend. Yes, I think you'll find this fairy tale very different from other Oz tales, but I hope you'll enjoy it just as much. If I were to write another Oz fairy tale, it would tell the stories of Dorothy, Betsey Bobbin, Trot, and the Patchwork Girl in the Land of Oz, and how they discover some strange creatures that can only exist in fairy-tale worlds. I think that while you're reading this fairy tale, The King of the Winkies, I will already be working on this thrilling story of the Land of Oz.
Content: If you have a map of the Land of Oz, you'll notice that the Vain Sea borders the coast of the Winkie Kingdom. Between the Winkie Kingdom and the Land of Oz lies the land and desert of the Nome King. The Winkie Kingdom isn't very large and is close to the sea, with all the houses and the king's palace built near the coast. The people rely on the sea for their livelihood, engaging in shipping and fishing. The wealth of the Winkie King comes from trade with the nearby islands. From the Winkie Kingdom, it takes three days of sailing north to reach the island of Pingaree. Since our story begins on this island, I must introduce it to you.
